A view across the water toward a long, low wharf building flying the American flag, with a red-hulled fishing boat and a sailboat offshore and the weathered pilings of an old pier in the foreground. Rockland, on Penobscot Bay, was long one of Maine's leading lobster and fishing ports, and its waterfront wharves handled the lobster trade that made the city famous. The linen-textured, pastel-toned rendering is typical of American view cards of the late 1930s and 1940s.
Linen texture with visible crosshatch; white border; series number OB-H1570 printed at lower right.
No postmark — card is unmailed (no stamp, no cancellation); handwritten "Rec'd Nov-6th 1944" on the address side. Divided-back Curteich linen card with white border; light edge wear and slight toning.
